Compare apples with apples; the new ATC on-die cache was a great improvement, the PIII may be based on a 5 year old core, a LOT of optimization were made. So much that I don't feel like the PIIIe is still a sixth generation cpu. If something based on the K7 core still exist in five years then we will be able to compare judiciously. Take the very first Pentium (P5) and put it on a .18 mu process then compare. You'll see. Or compare the Katmai with the Athlon Classic with DDR SDRAM (the only way to really take advantage of the EV6 Bus) then you'll understand why K7 is 7th gen. The sledgehammer will be based on the K7 core, will you consider it to be in the same generation? Max
